Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Zach reached her room but she wasn't there. The empty closet is open and her bag is still in the corner. He strode to the bed and sat there for a while to wait for her. Ten minutes and five minutes pass, she didn't come back.

He reached his phone and called her but she's not answering. So he keep calling her until she answered it and hung up on him. Life sucks without her. ​​

He exhales and remembered the day he left her. He is following her around making sure that she's fine. She is sent to the hospital and call Ellen, his sister who is nearby. He told her to check on Andy and asked the doctors about the results.

He didn't ask for follow up and just go on with his life that still seemed to be useless. He asked her to marry her then he suddenly left her when she said yes. He lay on the bed and wait for her.

"What are you doing here?" Andromeda enters the room and removed her hoodie jacket and throw it on the corner.

"Andy, let's talk."

"You want to call off the wedding? I am surprised that it's too early for that."

"No." He sat up. He patted the space beside him and she only lean on the corner and wait for him to speak. "Andy, please."

"Say it."

"I'm sorry for not protecting you back then. I am weak… I promise you that at this moment--"

"Shut up!" She cut him off. "You thought that I would forgive you instantly for breaking those promises? I don't want to hear your promises. I had enough. I'm sorry that I killed our child--" Beads of tears started forming in her eyes. "I'm sorry that I didn't satisfy you in any way. I'm sorry that I'll never be good enough for you. But please, I beg you. Stop killing me."

Zach strode fast to her and scoop her face.

"I'm sorry that I am killing you. I didn't mean to."

"If you are here to sleep with me, then I think that you will be disappointed."

"I just want to see you." He kissed her forehead and then her nose.

"I begged you back then to marry me and torture me instead than leaving me. But you never listen." She smack his chest. "I might be still alive if you didn't leave me."

"It's my fault. Okay? Stop blaming yourself."

Andy cry even more and Zach take her to bed and cuddle with her. But after she's done crying, she pushes him away and told him to leave. He did and she locked the door. She lay on the bed and stare at nowhere. She didn't notice that it's already three in the morning. She just feel asleep.

She woke up when a hand caress her hair and she opened her eyes to see her father.

"You didn't get enough sleep?" He asked. "I came here instead of your mom."

"I don't want to see her." She turned back from him.

"What happened?" He asked.

"She's not my mother."

"What are you talking about? I understand that you have a misunderstanding with her but, why do you hate her?"

"I am not her ideal daughter. I can't blame her for that. I am not a perfect daughter for both of you."

"Darling." Aaron felt like his chest has been stabbed. They were never be a good parent to her. She wouldn't think this way if they didn't push her so much that she didn't even come home for five years and just travel around. He didn't even know what happened. "I'm sorry."

"But Grandpa shaped me up. It's better that she hated me than being like someone else that I am not." She muttered.

He bent down and kiss her head.

"Tell me, darling. Do you want to marry Zach?"

"I don't know anymore." But the truth--she wanted to marry him. She wanted him so bad just to bring back the life that has been wasted.

"Why do you hate Zach?"

"Because I killed our child the night before the wedding." She muttered.

Aaron froze on what she said.

"Fiona didn't know anything. So please, tell your wife to stay away from my life because I will never be a perfect daughter she wanted."

"Andy…" Aaron feel broken for his daughter. How come that he didn't know about this? His own daughter has been suffering all this time. What kind of father is he? He hugged his daughter to comfort her but she doesn't need any comfort at all. "Don't worry. I will talk to your grandpa about this. We can cancel the wedding."

"No." She sat up and brushes her hair. "Don't cancel the wedding. This time, we are going to get married."

"But," Aaron hesitated. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." She had decided now. She exhales and hugged her knees.

"Live for me at least. Okay?" He caress her messy hair. "I will always be here for you. Your brother loves you and your grandpa loves you most. So, live for us. I got your back."

"Thanks dad."

"Now, get up and your stylist will be here anytime soon. I will help you with other arrangement and tell your mom not to take any part of it. Okay?"

"Please."

"How about let's play the usual next week?"

"Why not tonight?" She asked.

"But it's your wedding night." Aaron already understand her.

"Dad, there's no wedding night."

"Okay." He kisses her temple. "How about freshen up? I brought your favorite foods. Then, I will talk to your mom?"

"Please dad. I hate hearing her nonsensical thoughts."

Aaron laughs and stood.

She was alone again. So, she yoga and let Damien check her body and he was so happy while she's fitting the gown and doing the final touched.
